The evolution of the rear-engine Porsche 911 platform continued into the ‘70s as 1974 marked the arrival of the 911 Carrera to the United States in coupe and Targa configurations. The staggered width wheel and tire package, rear ducktail spoiler and signature lower body side script set the Carrera apart. This Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe is number 433 of 528 examples destined for the US market for 1974 and is finished in the original Ice Blue and black leather interior color combination. The iconic 911 Carrera was produced in February of 1974 and comes with its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. The flat-6 cylinder engine got a bump in displacement for 1974. The 2.7-liter engine in the 911 Carrera was rated for 175 horsepower at 5,800 RPM and 167 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 RPM. The air-cooled engine sends power to the rear wheels through an optional 5-speed manual transmission in the rear transaxle. Macpherson independent torsion bar front and semi-trailing arm independent rear suspension with anti-roll bar and 4-wheel disc brakes provide confident road holding and stopping power for the just over 2,300 pound sports car. The 1974 911 Carrera had a top speed of 140 MPH. Integrated bumpers and a front spoiler were new for US-market 911 models in 1974. The Carrera package added factory fender flares and a rubber rim ducktail spoiler for race-bred style. The interior features perforated and bolstered black leather bucket seats with integral headrest. The driver centric dashboard is equipped with full instrumentation and a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio with power control antenna. Fog lights provide all-weather forward visibility. The Fuchs 5-spoke wheels are polished to a mirror shine and this Carrera 911 comes with its owner's manual and date-coded spare.
